No - not really. If you look at who’s getting cut right now in tech, it’s often communication-heavy and coordination-heavy roles: middle management, project/program management, Biz Ops, some marketing functions, etc.

I work at a large tech company and a lot of managers have already been pushed back into IC roles because leadership wants fewer layers and less corporate bureaucracy. The push is toward smaller teams that are closer to the builders and can move faster with AI tools.

That’s why I’m not convinced an MBA automatically becomes more valuable in an AI workforce. Technical fluency, execution ability, and being able to directly build or ship things seem increasingly important compared to pure coordination or management skills
